What do you do when you have a teenager who loves camouflage? Make them a camouflage afghan! And it’s finished! Well, almost. I still need to tuck in the edges, but outside of that it’s done. I’ve crocheted a mile-a-minute afghan before, but I did an altered pattern. I made one for my fiance patterned after one made for him by his granny that had been lost in a divorce. This time, I used the pattern from my Leisure Arts Our Best Afghans A to Z book. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn – 6 skeins of the Camo yarn and 3 skeins of the Black yarn. This really is a fun pattern to crochet.

Here’s a close-up. It’s a shell stitch with a round of double crochets, a v-stitch, and a third round of double crochet.

Here’s a photo of the back. I put the panels together with a whip stitch.

And here’s a couple of photos of the finished product! Ignore the stray pieces of yarn hanging out. I’m hoping to get them all tucked in by the end of the night.
